Eating Concerns and Compulsivity

You should be a healthy female aged between 18 and 45 years. We are looking for women who do not have any current health or psychiatric problems. We will be asking you to do some questionnaires and complete two computer tasks, which measure behaviour thought to be related to compulsivity. Compulsivity is repetitively performing actions which aren’t rewarding or good for you. We will also non-invasively measure your pupils during one of the tasks.

If you are interested in participating in this study we’d like to hear from you! Feel free to ask questions – showing interest doesn’t commit you to anything! You will be compensated for your time if you decide to take part. You can email me on alexandra.pike@psych.ox.ac.uk or call 01865 618318 for more information. This study is run in the University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry.

We are looking for

People that fit into one of three groups: healthy people who have been recovered from anorexia nervosa for over a year, those who think a lot about their eating, weight and shape, and healthy controls, to participate in a psychological study.
